📋 About This Mod
PHB2024(ish) Feats Overhaul
This mod was originally intended to be a faithful implementation of the Feats from the 2024 Player's Handbook, however as I worked through the project I decided to add a few feats from other official sourcebooks and homebrewed certain feats slightly to fit in better with the game design that Larian went for in Baldur's Gate 3. Some effects were also homebrewed due to the RAW effects either being useless in the context of BG3, or because I could not figure out how to implement them.
Generally speaking, this mod does a large balancing pass on the vanilla feats, making all feats half feats, adding more requirements to feats where possible and adding an additional 12 feats sourced from the Player's Handbook, Astarion's Book of Hungers and the Heroes of Faerun official sourcebooks.

This BG3 gameplay overhaul rebalances all vanilla feats into half feats (each grants +1 to an ability score) and adds 12 new feats from the 2024 Player's Handbook and other official sources, with homebrewed tweaks for Larian's design. It's for players wanting a more modern, balanced feat system, but it's a niche mod with just 1 endorsement and 22 downloads, last updated August 2026.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Every vanilla feat becomes a half feat, so you never waste a pick without an ability score bump.
- Adds 12 feats from official 2024 sources plus homebrew adaptations, giving more build variety.
- Last updated August 2026, so it's fresh and built for the current BG3 patch.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 1 endorsement and 22 downloads, so it's essentially untested by the wider community.
- No install instructions or compatibility notes provided by the author.
- Broad balance changes may conflict with other feat overhaul mods or class mods that modify feats.
For BG3 players who want the 2024 D&D feat rules adapted to Larian's design, and who like that every feat also gives an ability score increase. For build crafters wanting more feat options beyond vanilla. Skip if you run other feat overhauls or prefer the original balance.
